101 Things in 1001 Days

Mackenzie Horan’s Design Darling has come back onto my radar lately. If any of you saw my tweets about wanting to raise a labrador in Nantucket, this is the site where I got the idea (except she has a Cockapoo!).

I had heard of Mackenzie a few times before from other blogs. Lots of big names tend to crop up on what I call ‘The Big Three’ (carlytheprepster.com, thelondoner.me and nursefancypants.blogspot.com – ie, the blogs that I religiously refresh). But Mackenzie’s is like looking into a portal of what perfection would be. Not necessarily all clean and colourful Nantucket vibes with the beautiful furniture and needlepoints (which are incredible ngl) but the idea of doing your own thing with someone you love and having fun whilst doing it.

At the heart of Mackenzie’s blog is her list of 101 things to do in 1001 days. Not 101 huge, enormous or life-changing things, just 101 things that she wanted to do in the next 2.75 years. So I decided to do my own. Some are big, some are small, some won’t be completed, some might be in the next few months or so. Some I might even swap out as my life changes – I don’t know but writing out this list was a good exercise for me to see where my values were at, what my hopes and wishes were and just exactly who I wanted to become by 2021.
